Ethics are about the ought, not the is. Ethics are not about the way things are, but about the way they should be. – Michael Josephson. – Ethics are not about framed credos or lofty codes, but conduct; not rhetoric but actions, not good intentions but honorable deeds. Ethics is not about doing what one has a right to do, but what is right to do.There are six core universal ethical values – trustworthiness (integrity, honesty, promise-keeping and fidelity), respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship (social responsibility) – the six pillars of character.

Being ethical is going beyond what is asked, and what is expected. We normally do things just because we are told to do those things, but if we were given a choice would we make an ethical decision? Doing things based on how they should to be clearly explains to me what being ethical should be. Identifying a problem and finding a solution for it.
